On the ebay listing for the black limited edition X100 for $889, their photo of the back of the camera is actually a photo of the back of an X-Pro 1 instead of the X100. (It’s proabably an oversight, but just wanted to raise attention.) I tried to send the seller a note about it, but it didnt go through.
I saw that too, but I couldn’t pass up this deal…I’ve always wanted a black LE X100!
Not sure if this means anything to anyone but AFAIK the International Limited Edition came in a wooden box but the camera itself was silver and the case was brown, instead of the lens hood it came with the cheapie fuji flash.
The US LE which was black body AFAIK came in a paper box with the hood and uv filter.
The point I was trying to drive home was that if it indeed comes with the wooden box it’s most likely the camera is going to be silver version. If it’s a paper box then it should be black. Does not seem there is going to be wood box AND black body but I could be proven wrong. Their listing says comes with wooden box AND that it’s black AND it comes with hood/adapter set.
My bet is it’s paper box, but won’t know until someone gets it in hand.
Dateline 11 September 2013.
Not sure how much credibility I should give to any pronouncements I’ve seen here. I’ve seen a lot of excited chatter about the X100 firmware “definitely” being released by the end of August, and then “definitely” on 10 September. What is today’s date again?
Then again, it’s a rumours site, so what else should I expect?
Hi Ian. As you may have noticed, the French site focus numerique posted the X100 press-release together with the XF 23mm press-release. This means Fuji planed to announce both the same day, but decided in the last moment to postpone it. Focus-numerique simply forgot to take off the firmware part of the press release and posted it all. Anyway, in this press-release of september 5 they announced it for September 10! I also told you that I couldn’t find this press release at Fuji’s site, so maybe this information is not correct.
Remember that it was the end of July when we first talked about a firmware update. Fuji must have been deep into developing it, and it’s hard to say when it will be exactly released, as you don’t want a buggy firmware, or not? Better wait a bit more time than expected and to have a perfectly working firmware.
There are a lot of complaints about the eBay seller ou published, I would check very carefully before buying from this guy.
How is a 98.7% positive rating out of over 46,000 reviews equal a lot of complaints? I used to never consider buying from eBay, but with their new guarantee, I know I’m covered if something gets delivered and it’s not as advertised.
When you drill down to the type of complaints, you realize that there is a common theme – they all complain about a gap between the promised condition and the actual item.
You could open dispute and get back your money, but I don’t like that at all.
P.S.
Amazon has “as new” deal for x100 black from a much better rated seller for 895$
I hear ya. I’ll just hope for the best, but if things don’t work out, it’s not the end of the world – there are lots of options to get my money back (contacting the seller, eBay, PayPal, Visa, etc.). The problem with that Amazon one is it’s “as new” but still used. I’m looking for new, never opened. Fingers crossed!
Justin,
as I joke some time about unfamilied food, you eat first (buy the camera) and I will wait for 10 minutes to see nothing happened…
Please inform me when you get the model.
Absolutely, I’ll keep you posted! I tried to contact them because I haven’t yet gotten a tracking number yet – they’re out until Monday Yom Kippur. According to eBay, they’ve sold around a dozen of them already.
Hi guys, argentinan guy here! Pelase let me know about the condition of the item. I too consider “be” AND wooden box rather impossible. I hope it isn’t a ref x100 course I really want to buy this camera. Keep us posted. Cheers.
I got mine today, it is actually a silver x100 in a wooden box with brown case and a flash unit. The charger also came with an euro plug. I will give them a call to see if this is a mix up since they did advertise this as the black version.
Dang…thanks for posting Brian. I just messaged them and told them to cancel my order (I don’t think that it’s been shipped yet since they were out of the office at the end of this week). Hopefully I can get this resolved quickly. Have you had any contact with them yet?
Ya I just got a hold of them today (monday the 16th). The manager was rather nice about it, he said they’ve gotten a lot of calls about it. He was willing to refund my money and take the product back. It appears the vendor he got it from gave him the wrong description and he never opened up it up to check it. I actually believe him that it is a honest mistake. He seemed worried about the negative review this might cause him.
It was too good to be true, wasnt it? Its a shame that you cant trust anyone on ebay these days. Not that the silver x100 in a wooden box isnt cool, but it aint the black ED.
889 for a new B.ED was a dream 🙁
Thank you brian for your heads up.
I doubt if it was a mistake, looks like a classic bait and switch to me.
Never bought something so expensive on eBay, but even for a 15$ item I usually check the fine print.
(Hard lessons from the past taught me that).
I went ahead and contact the seller twice about these. Never got answered.
Fujirumors should stop promoting these since is false advertising.
“Dear redoworld,
Thank you for contacting us!
I apologize for the mistake in our listing. You are right. We have the silver one in the wooden box with the extra flash. Have a great day!
